"I've always been fascinated by the history of Troy and Marion Zimmer Bradley's retelling is absolutely brilliant. You see the world out of the eyes of Cassandra, princess of Troy, the ill-fated seeress who's been cursed to see but never to be believed. While human failings such as greed and jealousy contribute to Troy's fall, it comes about mostly by the gods warring among themselves."
"The siege of Troy from Kassandra's (Cassandra) point of view and with the MZB feminist reading of societal changes during times of major upheaval. Entertaining characters and interesting travels. Nice to read a book about a war that doesn't dwell on the blood and guts and glory."
"I read it many, many years ago. I remember reading it in almost one siting and having a really good impression of Aeneas and just wanting to strangle Paris. Not much has change. Zimmer Bradley knows how to write a good tale. Told from the point of view of Kassandra, the seer that predicts the fall of Troy and cursed to not be believe by the Gods, Firebrand takes the side of the women in this war. Zimmer Bradley feminism views are not hidden and are sometimes a bit heavy but overall, it's a good retelling of one of the most notorious and famous conflict. Odysseus is wonderful, Akhilles is an immature, unbalanced youth with impulse control issues. The Gods are the villains here and the men and women are merely puppets in their power struggles and petty fights. Glad I reread it, it made a good companion to my reread of the Iliad and the Eneid."
